Hello,

I would like to make BIT (Built in tests) to a number of server in my cloud. I need the request to fail on large timeout.

How should I do this with java?

Trying something like the below does not seem to work.

public class TestNodeAliveness {
 public static NodeStatus nodeBIT(String elasticIP) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
  HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
  client.getParams().setIntParameter("http.connection.timeout", 1);

  HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet("http://192.168.20.43");
  HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

  System.out.println(response.toString());
  return null;
 }


 public static void main(String[] args) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
  nodeBIT("");
 }
}

-- EDIT: Clarify what library is being used --

I'm using httpclient from apache, here is the relevant pom.xml section

org.apache.httpcomponents httpclient 4.0.1 jar
